Safety, trust & environment

I don't pet sit in my home because of my two cats. In others' homes I care for their pets with respect, attentiveness and kindness. I follow instructions with care and stay calm in emergencies. I am willing to spend nights.

Information Mikayla B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has special needs so I can be prepared, and about any rules such as rooms they're not allowed to enter, etc. If anything makes them afraid or they have anxiety with anything, knowing to avoid those situations ahead of time is helpful. I also love knowing about their personality, quirks, and favorite things so I can make friends with them faster.

A typical day

I will make sure to stick to their routine, feeding them when they are usually fed and for dogs, taking them out when they usually go out. I will make sure they have plenty of time to play and plenty of time for chilling, depending on the pet's personality.

We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.

Mikayla was professional and a good communicator. She left our house perfect, and we would definitely hire her again to watch our older dog and home.

Mikayla was wonderful! My senior pup has seizures and I hate leaving her but Mikayla sent lots of pics and messages which helped me feel so much better! She's amazing, highly recommend! We'll definitely be using her in the future!

If there were more than five stars to give, I would give them! Mikayla is so kind, and the animals warmed up to her so easily! We were able to leave for a weekend family event knowing that all was well with our Lab puppy and two cats. She is so friendly, and its easy to see why she has so many returning customers. We will absolutely be using Mikayla again!
